Cheque bounced for "Drawers signature not as per mandate


11-Jan-2023 (In Cheque Bounce Law)
Dear Sir, my customer cheque bounced for 'drawers signature not as per mandate' i understand this cannot be a reason to file criminal case against him under sec 138 NI Act. This customer has closed down his business and vacated his premises (rented) no body knows where he is now. I don't have a contract with him all I have is few invoice copies and previous communication over email where we had discussed about payments made. Under this circumstance what is the best legal remedy I have to recovery my money kindly advice. Can I initiate a fraud case on him kindly advice your thoughts on this as well. Thanks Lavanya

Dear Sir
You are right. You can file private complaint under section 200 of Criminal procedure code.
With little efforts in coordination with police you may trace out the accused. If the amount huge then you go for this method. If you can trace out his properties then you can file civil suit and get attach his property
